Watchdog - O - Matic 5.01 released

It took a while, but I'm finally ready with the new Watchdog – O – Matic release. I did a lot of testing on several operating systems, cause the number of changes I made in this version is huge.

I switched to a new compiler and created 64bit versions of the application. This required more work and changes than I thought, so thorough testing was needed. I also moved some basic features from the professional to the standard version making the standard version a more complete product. It didn't make sense to leave these features out.

All of this has some influence on the standard version. The biggest change is I no longer support Windows 95, 98 and Me. Supporting these old Windows versions was keeping some cool features out of the standard version. And our web visitor logs shows that the number of people still using these versions is very low.

What's up next? Creating 64bit versions for Sniff – O – Matic and Service – O – Matic. Wish me luck.
